“It is fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”

This comes from a man who needs no introduction and actually, literally touches you and what you do and everyone you know every day of your life. That cannot be said about too many people in history. He is a member of a very small club with Jesus, Steve Jobs, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford and maybe Mike Lindell, the inventor of My Pillow.

So Bill Gates is the guy, and he certainly knows success and perhaps how to celebrate it. Taking turns being the richest man on Earth, he certainly has the wherewithal to celebrate. Yet, he says it is more important to learn from failures. History tells us that we experience far more failures than successes. Whether technical failures that must have happened with Microsoft and Apple and with Edison or mis-steps with employees and co-workers and family members.

We need to heed the lessons of failure so as not to repeat them or not continue repeating them. I believe the technical, process failures of our job are easier to isolate and identify and avoid going forward. Working with people on the other hand, can be more challenging. Whereas you can make progress with an individual, there is always another individual around the corner that needs your help, instruction and direction. So you can learn from your personal personnel failures and not repeat them with the next individual but each new person brings in another level of competence and you start from there to heed your failures once again. It never ends, huh?

So remember to celebrate your successes and make your failures something to learn from not to despair.
